What Penrith have achieved is remarkable and obviously unprecedented in the salary cap era. Trying to say they are better than the Dragon's of the 11 in a row era, the subsequent Rabbits of the late 60s/early 70s, the Eels of the early 80s and then the Dogs of war who basically had 2 test level forward packs is great conversation with no definitive answer given different rules, players being semi professional, and the at times thuggery that was allowed.

Even with rule changes, salary caps, area restrictions etc only one other team has won 4 straight premierships. No other team has won 12 straight finals matches.
If they are not the GOAT they are number 2, and undisputedly the GOAT in the limited tackle and NRL eras.
